Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am patient, friendly, and supportive. I believe students learn best in a relaxed and encouraging environment. I explain lessons clearly and step by step, focusing on practical Khmer that students can use in real life. I adapt my teaching style to each student’s level and goals, and I encourage speaking from the first lesson to build confidence. Making mistakes is part of learning, and I guide students to improve naturally and comfortably.

Dara is an amazing teacher. He's been an incredible resource for learning Khmer to the community. If you've ever been lucky enough to run across his YouTube videos you will know. His methods of teaching make learning Khmer approachable, clear and comprehensive.

Hok Dara is a helpful and fun teacher to learn Khmer with and is patient in addition. I had a great time for my first lesson and I look forward to the next one.
I have absolutely LOVED my lessons with Dara! He’s kind, patient, and a great teacher. He also has a very contagious laugh, and he makes the lessons go so quickly! I’ve enjoyed my lessons so much that even convinced my husband to take lessons with Dara. If you’re looking to learn Khmer, definitely give Dara a try.
